Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:78605 Court No. - 86 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 15467 of 2025 Applicant :- Gautam Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Vijay Tripathi Counsel for Opposite Party :- Anil Kumar Pandey,G.A. Hon'ble Dr. Gautam Chowdhary,J.
1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Anil Kumar learned counsel for the informant, learned A.G.A for the State and perused the record.
2. It has been argued by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. Learned counsel further submits that the victim is aged about 20 years and that the applicant and the victim both are married.
Learned counsel further argued that the victim in her statement recorded under Section 180 B.N.S.S. has specifically stated that on account of dispute with her brother, she has left her house without intimating any one and nothing wrong has been done with her by any one. In her statement recorded under Section 183 B.N.S.S. too, no allegation has been levelled against the applicant except that when she was in Delhi, the applicant was also present. It is thus contended that the applicant has been falsely implicated due to ulterior motive. Several other submissions in order to demonstrate the falsity of the allegations made against the applicant have also been placed before the Court. The circumstances which, according to the counsel, led to the false implication of the accused have also been mentioned. It has also been assured on behalf of the applicant that he is ready to cooperate with the process of law and shall faithfully make himself available before the court whenever
required and is also ready to accept all the conditions which the Court may deem fit to impose upon him. He next submits that applicant is languishing in jail since 19.03.2025 having no criminal history.
3. Per contra, learned A.G.A. as well as learned counsel for the informant have opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant by contending that the innocence of the applicant cannot be adjudged at pre trial stage, therefore, he does not deserve any indulgence.
4. Considering the entire facts and circumstances of the case,
submissions of learned counsel for the parties, nature of evidence, and all attending facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, this Court is of the view that the applicant has made out a case for bail. Hence the bail application is allowed.
5. Let applicant Gautam involved in Case Crime No.150 of 2025 under Sections 351 (2), 87 B.N.S., Police Station Sikandara, District Agra, be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond and two local sureties each of the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to the following conditions:- i) The applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence. ii) The applicant shall not threaten or harass the prosecution witnesses. iii) The applicant shall appear on the date fixed by the trial court. iv) The applicant shall not commit an offence similar to the offence of which the applicant is accused, or suspected of the commission. v) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the
facts of the case so as to dissuade such person from disclosing
facts to the Court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence.
6. In case of breach of any of the above condition, the trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail of the applicant in accordance with law.
